British Science Week 2024
British Science Week is a ten-day celebration of science, technology, engineering and maths which takes place between the 8th and 17th of March 2024. On Monday the 11th of March, 5 of the FEMM Hub team travelled to Charnock Hall Academy in Sheffield to deliver an interactive session.
Kicking off the event, FEMM Hub Director Professor Geraint Jewell delivered a presentation on "What is an engineer?" before the Hub Manager Dr Laura O'Keefe, Dr Lloyd Tinkler (Project lead - Manufacturing technologies for flexibility and customisation), Wei Liang Choong and Reece Eblet (FEMM Hub PhD students) delivered motor workshops to 120 pupils in Year 4 and Year 6. At the end of each workshop pupils had the opportunity to "Ask an Engineer" which proved very popular.
